After four years, the Padres on Friday will don their pink-and-mint City Connect uniforms for the last time.
The club announced in January that this would be the final season for the brightly-colored alternates.
Teams can swap out designs after four seasons. The Diamondbacks, Red Sox, White Sox, Rockies, Astros, Marlins, Giants and Nationals all debuted new City Connects this year. The Padres will unveil a new City Connect design next year.
“It’s always fun to get a new jersey,” center fielder Jackson Merrill said. “As long as I stay on the same team with the new jersey.”
